What age are you and what is the purpose of your visit?

A. If you are under 20, stick to vicinity of Eyre Square for a pints of Fat Frog, followed by a Snackbox and a ringside view of teenagers wearing t-shirts in sub zero temperatures getting arrested for hammering the crap out of each other with broken Busckfast bottles.


B, If you are under 35 and looking for a bit of loving and/or a kebab, stay anywhere within a 100 meter radius of Quay Street. You will unavoidably end up in either The Front Door or The Quays, depending on which side of 40 you are. Hen Party and Stag Party heaven.

C. If you are hippyish, gay, scruffy, laid back, in the Green Party or in need of a lap dance, Dominick Street and its environs are for you.

D. If you are over 50 and miserable, just camp in Woodquay area.

E. Salthill. Handy if you are with a someone you don't want to be seen with in public.


I stick with the Dew Drop which is somewhere in between B and C above.

That is just spot on! Excellent summary!

I was in The Cottage in Salthill last weekend and it was as busy as any pub in the city centre. So there.

ErnieBert, seriously you should stick a copyright notice on that. It's a classic piece of writing.

ErnieBert - having lived in and loved Galway for 3 years of my 20's, I salute your summation of the city's nightlife. Whatever about stickying it, that should be up on TripAdvisor! :cool:

I am blushing with all of the kind comments.:o
